This Way Forward keeps that model intact and shows us the way, charging 10 cuts of brass accents and polished vocal turns from Hil St Soul, Natasha Watts and Guida de Palma. Wade&#8217;s approach stays consistent, reaching back to Brit-funk and US smooth jazz but kept current through production detail and pacing. A continuation of a catalogue built over decades, the name identifying less a fixed band or brand, more a vehicle for Wade&#8217;s take on club-ready jazz-funk.<\/p>\n<p>Label: Hip City<br \/>\nFormat: 2xLP limited to 300 copies<br \/>\nCat: HCRLP 101<br \/>\nReleased: 11 Jun 26<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.juno.co.uk\/products\/down-to-the-bone-this-way-forward-vinyl\/1145217-01\/?ref=motionfm&#038;utm_source=affiliate&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_campaign=affiliate_dashboard_referral\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BUY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tracklist<\/strong><br \/>\nSide A<br \/>\n1. &#8220;Get Up &#038; Dance&#8221; (feat Hil St Soul) 5:58<br \/>\n2. &#8220;Sending You Love (Parts 1 &#038; 2)&#8221; (feat Natasha Watts) 8:21<\/p>\n<p>Side B<br \/>\n1. &#8220;The Special Branch&#8221; 5:20<br \/>\n2. &#8220;Feel So Good&#8221; (feat Natasha Watts) 7:18<br \/>\n3. &#8220;Shining&#8221; (feat Natasha Watts) 6:04<\/p>\n<p>Side C<br \/>\n1. &#8220;Hermosa Bump&#8221; 6:43<br \/>\n2. &#8220;Bird Of Paradise&#8221; (feat Guida De Palma) 7:04<\/p>\n<p>Side D<br \/>\n1. &#8220;Ella&#8217;s Groove&#8221; (feat Natasha Watts) 6:52<br \/>\n2. &#8220;You See Me&#8221; (feat Guida De Palma) 6:53<br \/>\n3. &#8220;Umph!&#8221; :16<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A long-running name rather than a one-off project, Down To The Bone are collective whose door has revolved since at least &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":21907,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21906"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21906"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21906\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21908,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21906\/revisions\/21908"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
